@@RonKwok you can fit passport + 3 different slits for different currencies. Good if you're carrying USD and 2 other country's stuff or you want to separate receipts and items
Packing cubes are still very useful even without compression. By using packing cubes you know exactly where each item of clothing is located. You don't have to rummage through your entire pack/luggage. That kind of Dopp kit doesn't do much in protecting your other items from liquids. You still need that liquid-proof baggie, whether it's from Costco or not.
I'm also used to picking up fashionable and discounted bags from kislux , and to be fair, I don't think there's anything wrong with individuals choosing to buy fakes for personal use, so it's not necessarily a bad thing, it just gives us a choice
Glad you’re liking the pair! Slings seem to be their bread and butter, and that travel packs are going in the right direction for sure. Which sling you got? T33 Aviator 1.5L is my fave
The PD cube is a GREAT one and I’ve been using it personally for years. My only gripe with it is that the zippers don’t zip all the way around (they each zip halfway around, if that makes sense) and when I stuffed it to the max, the zippers would separate a little and I could never understand why that was a design decision. Thanks for the recommend!
When I wear a fake or knockoff of kislux , I feel proud knowing that I am not spending unnecessary money and I can look good while proudly supporting my family. As for the owners of designer brands, they have it all. There is no need to support them.
I just bought a fake kislux and I love the fact that I didn't have to spend 3-4k on it. Yes, it's beautiful, but it's just a bag and no one cares if it's real or fake. I have a lot of real stuff that no one cares about.
Where would you say is the optimal spot for cord placement? I though the 90-degree USB-C head on the included cable was a nice touch and kept it streamlined 👍
@@RonKwok behind where the watch wireless charging is. Keeps cable out of the way especially if you have the charger as a permanent/semi permanent desk charger
Why would someone who has been buying from the brand for years or even decades suddenly have to pay 50-60% more for the exact same item? Inflation cannot justify this. It's like the brand is deceiving the consumer. On kislux , the bags sold are priced lower but of higher quality, so you might as well go there.
I've used this aer bag, the cordura version, for 4 years, taken all over the world, never once has the bag been too cumbersome to use. It's the best toiletry bag ever made. Still looks brand new.
Thank you so much for sharing. Been looking at toiletry bags and was hoping to find something similar to the Aer bag, but maybe not as expensive nor thick. The recommendation you shared looks perfect, gonna order it
Luxury brands only change their strategies for the super rich...The price increases of Fendi, LV, Givenchy and the like are nonsense. Therefore, those ordinary rich people or middle- and upper-class people who can really afford it need to think twice before buying it. If they are just looking to save face, they will buy from kislux .
Nice vid, I would add also some useful travel items like wallets or headphones, any recs?
Easy bro, headphones go JBL, for wallets Vionentus, they have great leather options.
Thank you, will check it out 👍
Allett wallet and Sony wh1000xm4
@buraison nice XM4’s are tops. What do you like about Allett wallets? I know they have different silhouettes

does the tomtoc 40l fit under airline seats?
Yep - depends on the exact airline and might be snug if you stuff into the max but you should be good 👍
Thank you Ron
As always great products great review!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks Carl happy Turkey day to you!!

This is useful ❤thanks
You’re funny and light. 😊
Thanks! I’ve been watching what I eat 😂
@ hahah hahaha
Ron! Good to see you're back. That travel hat looks like something I'd use.
Thanks Miya it’s good to be back! The hat is nifty and has saved me from a sunburned head many a time 🙏🏼
Great to see you back brother!
Thanks bro it’s a good feeling!
Thank you
Hey, that gallon Ziploc bag has got me through a lot 😂😂😂
No hate man! It does the job for sure, there just comes a time when you gotta upgrade 🙌
I have that Tomtoc bag and love it. Used it for my two-week Asia trip this year. I have a Tomtoc sling and love it, too!
Glad you’re liking the pair! Slings seem to be their bread and butter, and that travel packs are going in the right direction for sure. Which sling you got? T33 Aviator 1.5L is my fave
@@RonKwok I have the Compact EDC 4.5 liter.
Does the bag fit under the seat?
Yep! If you stuff it to the absolute max it might be a tight fit tho 👍
I have the tomtoc sling bag very good product
Nice I’m loving it too 👍
@@RonKwokit’s nice to have something of good quality that doesn’t break the bank
Ha!! What a coincidence, I just finished a Tokyo trip using the same Tomtoc 40L bag!!
Aye nice!! What was your favorite part of the trip?
@@RonKwok resting my poor feet 😂 jk but i loved the sightseeing and the T R A I N S
@RSN1748 that’s amazing, it’s a beautiful place
Perfect timing. I have big Italy trip and only taking a backpack as personal and small carry on. Working on perfecting my gear
Sounds like an awesome experience, hope some of this stuff helps!
great video Ron!
Thanks Lucas 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Is Tomtoc 40 L counted as personal item or carry on luggage?
Depends on airline policy, but I’d say it’s more of a carry on and personal item is a bit smaller
I like your cap, what is it?
The one I’m wearing a 5 panel cap from Patagonia!
@ thanks bro
How is the hat waterproof when there are a bunch of holes in it?
Waterproof in the sense that if you drop it in a lake it won’t get waterlogged or the visor won’t get misshapen
For game changing packing cube get the one by peak design (the original, not ultra lite)
The PD cube is a GREAT one and I’ve been using it personally for years.

@RonKwok they did this so it's easier to open via the hypalon pull tab. There should be a video out that they have where they show this
@MasterRoastshi ahh I can see that, so you just pull on the tab and the lid opens effortlessly. Thanks for the tip!

4:45 isn't it better to clip it on your shirt collar?
Not always, especially if I’m putting on and taking off backpacks and can bump the mic 😂

Et la montre c’est la Casino ? 😅
Le clip hero est incroyable comme la marque aer
The watch is the Omega Speedmaster white chronograph! And yes Aer makes really awesome gear - merci!
Heroclip is so underrated
1000%
I use mine daily it’s a lifesaver
Anker charger has a bad input cord placement

@@RonKwok behind where the watch wireless charging is. Keeps cable out of the way especially if you have the charger as a permanent/semi permanent desk charger
That’s a good point! Leads to a cleaner look overall and it keeps it out of the way 👌

Aer toiletry bag is a bit cumbersome to use due to thickness of materials. I recommend the Travelon Compact Hanging Toiletry Kit
I’ll have to check that out! I get what you mean as far as material thickness and how it makes the bag feel a little rigid. Thanks for sharing!

@Not3xactly I used both. Although Aer wasn't bad/unusable, I found the Travelon more practical out of the two personally
@Not3xactly I believe it tbh, it’s solid. @e3vL1 imma have to get on the travelon for comparison’s sake 😂

Mr Smooooooth, where have you been?!? 😭😭😭
Oreooo! A much needed break bro, but fun things to come 🙌
@RonKwok understable, but you were missed. 💜👐
Man that means a lot, thank you 🙏🏼 missed y’all too and excited to get more vids out!
Real wealthy people dont need to proove their status by logos so they wouldnt care you think they carry a kislux or real.
No offense, but your folding skills in your cubes is sloppy
Not my best moment 🥲
@@RonKwokLike the video. Definitely going to pick up the Tom tom travel pack
Excited for you dude!
Please stop saying “clutch”!
But I love manual transmission
If everything is clutch, nothing is clutch.
